Description
Dog Breed: Unknown breed (short coat). Loki is a big handsome boy with the sweetest brown eyes. He was rescued after being abandoned when his owner passed away. Loki was neutered and updated on his vaccinations in early October and came to Dogwerks for socialization and training. He was in tough shape physically a bit thin and with thinning hair and scaly skin especially on his rear, but in even tougher shape mentally with fear of both people and dogs and no leash skills. He would resist almost everything by throwing himself to the ground and using his weight to say NO! Loki has come a long way in a few weeks of training. He is hiking off leash in groups of 10-15 dogs who ride loose together in a van. He no longer gets jumpy or defensive when dogs are near but is still a bit timid and would benefit from a calm canine buddy who could help him build his confidence. Loki has learned his basic commands and walks well on a loose leash. He’s a sweet boy with a good heart who would love to build trust with a strong/calm human leader. Marielle at Dogwerks will provide two hours of one on one training with Loki’s new owner at no cost.

Breed overview
Overview:
A mongrel, mutt, or mixed-breed dog, is a dog that is not the result of breeding within an existing breed or to modify or create a breed and belongs to no breed. In the United States, the term "mixed-breed" is a favored synonym over "mongrel" among many who wish to avoid negative connotations associated with the latter term. The implication that such dogs must be a mix of defined breeds may stem from an inverted understanding of the origins of dog breeds. Pure breeds have been, for the most part, artificially created from random-bred populations by human selective breeding with the purpose of enhancing desired physical, behavioral, or temperamental characteristics. Dogs that are not purebred are not necessarily a mix of such defined breeds. Therefore, among experts and fans of such dogs, "Mongrel" is still the preferred term.
